nicolas malleville’s & francesca bonato’s hotel in tulum, mexico

Today’s trip takes us to Mexico! We go to Tulum, on the Yucatan Peninsula, where Nicolas Malleville and Francesca Bonato have their beautiful beach hotel.

The elegant and unique interior design integrates Asian and European influences. With turquoise water and palm trees, beautiful fixtures, Mexican artefacts, handmade furniture, personal touches can be found in every corner, delighting senses and offering glimpses into the culture of the region.

Besides being a hotelier, Nicolas also founded Coqui Coqui Perfumes, a small perfume lab in the mystical and colonial town of Valladolid. Scented candles from their own perfumeria can be found in every room of the hotel.
